A Better Resurrection Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDE DFDFGEGE HIHIGEGE| I have no wit no words no tears | A |
| My heart within me like a stone | B |
| Is numb'd too much for hopes or fears | C |
| Look right look left I dwell alone | B |
| I lift mine eyes but dimm'd with grief | D |
| No everlasting hills I see | E |
| My life is in the falling leaf | D |
| O Jesus quicken me | E |
| - | |
| My life is like a faded leaf | D |
| My harvest dwindled to a husk | F |
| Truly my life is void and brief | D |
| And tedious in the barren dusk | F |
| My life is like a frozen thing | G |
| No bud nor greenness can I see | E |
| Yet rise it shall the sap of Spring | G |
| O Jesus rise in me | E |
| - | |
| My life is like a broken bowl | H |
| A broken bowl that cannot hold | I |
| One drop of water for my soul | H |
| Or cordial in the searching cold | I |
| Cast in the fire the perish'd thing | G |
| Melt and remould it till it be | E |
| A royal cup for Him my King | G |
| O Jesus drink of me | E |
